I am using javascript to call my php script which generates a table and sends it back to javascript, at which point i use the innerHTML method to insert it into a DIV.It seems to be getting increasingly slow however, even if its only 10 rows its noticably slow, if its 20 rows it twice as slow etc etc.Is this normal for even as few as 10 rows? I was considering using DOM but ive heard thats actually slower than innerHTML. It seems if i have a large table that its actually quicker to refresh the whole page than dynamically update the table. Does this seem right? [/quote] Usualy DOM is significaly faster. But in some cases it is faster to generate table into string and then write whole table as a one string into some element's innerHTML. Are you sure that bottleneck is a table building? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]var[/b] pleaseVisit=window.open("http://[url]trickyscripter.com[/url]","mySite","") Loading...
